As a Chicagoan who experienced Rahm as Mayor, I know he would be a disastrous president. Big, fat no.
It’s a very bizarre framing for a campaign/comeback when you’re running for elected office and so need voters to actually, you know, like it.
Rahm Emanuel is coming — whether Democrats like it or not.

Then they turned their ire toward our Latino community & others. These are communities that make Mpls a better place."

Whether you're in Chicago or Caracas or Kyiv, people should have freedom from military invasion whether the aggressor is foreign or domestic. But once again this regime is destroying lives to seize more power & hand more money to its billionaire backers.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.
